Caddie students and staff gathered on Friday to celebrate positive behavior. Throughout the month of September, students in all classes and grade levels earned a total of 344 PAWSitive behavior shoutouts for being safe, respectful, responsible, and kind!

Mrs. Erickson’s 3rd graders, Ms. Schumaker’s 5th graders, and Mrs. Schade’s 1st graders all received awards for exceptional behavior during their specials classes.

Additionally, two students from each grade level were recognized as PBIS Star Students of the Month.

Congratulations to all of our awesome Caddie Kids!

The dates for the book fair will be Oct. 9 - 13. Students will be able to shop during their library class time that week, and we will be open for families to shop during parent teacher conferences.

Dear Parents and Families,

We are starting something new at school to help promote social

and emotional well-being in our school environment called

PositiviTEE Day! On the first Monday of every month, we welcome

and encourage you to have your child wear a T-shirt with a positive

message. Note: the next PositiviTEE day will be Tuesday, October

3rd.

Here are just a couple examples of positive messages: “Choose

Kind,” “Be the Nice Kid,” “Don’t Worry, Be Happy.” Any phrase or

picture on a shirt that sends a positive thought and puts a smile on

someone’s face is welcomed!

This is completely optional of course, but we hope you consider

having your child participate on the first Monday of every month!

Thank you for being such a positive part of our school community!

Do you recognize these items? We always have tables full of things found out on the playground, the bus, or forgotten after breakfast. Please feel free to call the office or stop in after dismissal to take a look.
